Paper Talk: Liverpool offer deal to FB; Chelsea plot Areola raid

Liverpool are taking a cheap route to filling their problematic left-back void, while Chelsea want a PSG goalkeeper to challenge Thibaut Courtois next season, according to Wednesday’s newspapers.

LIVERPOOL OFFER DEAL TO FREE AGENT LEFT-BACK

Liverpool have offered Gael Clichy a two-year contract, according to a report on Wednesday.

The Frenchman is available as a free agent after being allowed to leave Manchester City this summer and it’s claimed in the Daily Mail that the Reds are looking to lure him to Anfield.

Jurgen Klopp is well known to be seeking a new left-back this summer with James Milner having filled in their so admirably this season and has been linked with the likes of Ryan Sessegnon of Fulhah, Hull’s Andrew Robertson and Monaco’s Benjamin Mendy.

But Clichy would represent a cheaper and more experienced option for Klopp, and it’s believed a contract to 2019 has been presented to the 31-year-old former Arsenal man.

The free signing of Clichy would allow Klopp to use his summer funds elsewhere, with hopes boosted of a deal for £50million target Virgil van Dijk.
